The studio plans to rerelease The Dark Knight in January, at the height of Oscar season. Execs hope the move will improve their chances to rub it in Spike Lee’s face.
Warners domestic distribution president Dan Fellman acknowledged ongoing talks with Imax executives about the prospect of restoring the Christian Bale starrer to some number of giant-screen venues in January. It’s uncertain if “Dark Knight” also will reappear in conventional venues at that point.
“It’s just a matter of bringing it back as a reminder for people,” a studio insider said. [THR]
“The who what now?” said an Academy voter of the $952 million dollar-grossing movie. “Never heard of it.”

I hope Spike Lee re-releases ‘Do The Right Thing’ just so I can officially go not see it in theaters.
The Da2k Knight?
Spike hopes FOX will re-release The House Bunny just because he likes the blonde one.
So this one time…I was rereleasing on this chick’s chest…it was dark…and I was dressed as a fucking knight…
The Dark Knight’s re-release will have a happier ending in an attempt to lure the votes of Japanese business men and long shore men.
Hope they manage to get the same cast and director.
It’s only a home video, but I’ll be releasing a little girl soon.
Normally black guys can’t shut up in movies, Spike can’t shut up about his movies.
They can rerelease all they want…I’ll just vote for ‘Old Country’ again.
Spike Lee was pissed they called it the Dark Knight, as this was his title for a black chess champion movie
This rerelease is the best idea ever, because now I can time my cumshots with the parts that I missed the first time.
“Yeah baby, yeah keep fingering my urethra like tha-GAGZOOKS!!!”
This time around they want us to dress like fucking retards and sing at the screen, right? Wright?! RIGHT!!?!??!?
I hope that the rerelease won’t live up to the hype either.
Health Ledger will be the first dead man to release twice in a year since Tupac.
Not to be off-topic, but could we do something about the Cthulhu banners, they look like gay porn.
Unfortunately, Heath Ledger can’t re-die.
So when an Academy voter requests a copy of the film for viewing, the filmmakers will instead tell him to go pay his $9.50, sit next to a bunch of comic geeks reciting dialog along with the screen, and inhale Cheeto dust and BO for 2-1/2 hours? Oh yeah, that will win over some voters.
SteveB (not Dr.Steve Brule), you obviously don’t understand the kind of traffic that visits this site.
You dike.
I’ll probably go see it again. Hopefully I can find it in IMAX somewhere in the Dirty Souff this time around.
erswi, the Dirty Shoufff IMAX experience takes place projected against the back wall of Fred Myers.
I had a re-re lease once, I lost the deposit because he went over his drooling limit.
Donk, you leased a re-re? Fuck that, I buy my retards up front.
I was hoping it would be rereleased in 3-D so I can have a Bat cock in my face.
Erswi, there is an IMAX in my bedroom.
Chodin, I couldn’t afford the Down’s payment for that.
Corky from ‘Life Goes On’: now there was a coherent re-re, if I’ve ever seen one.
Eib, just because it has giant curatins, it doesn’t make your vagina a movie screen…sorry.
8=D;(
“curatins” are similar to curtains, but not really.
Donk, Chod, growing your ‘tards is where it’s at.
“curatins” are the people who killed Jesus.
Only problem wiff buying ‘tards is you lose 1/2 the value when you drive em off the lot.
Hopefully, this rerelease will answer the question: Why so serious?
Best re re are the certified pre-owned, they’re already broken in.
Erswi, it’s also really hard to get OEM parts for ‘em too.
And I thought I had to throw away that bright green merkin and red lipstick I bought.
C-Dog, the last one I bought certified pre-owned was Terry Schiavo. Turned out to be a lemon, or I dunno, some kind of vegetable.
Guys, make sure your re re factory warranty is still in tact when buying used.
Water melon?
Pauly, is that guy in your avatar Alfonso Ribiero?
New Up!
Pauly, I always make sure I get a bumper-to-bumper warranty on my re res.
No, JHC. Double Dragon.
